!. I don't know how you are running chat. It normally gets called by pppd,
which provides it with some information like the device to connect to, and
it uses a script that tells it how to manage the connection. Models are in
the PPP HowTo, as ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer. Depending on which distribution
and version of Linux you are using, you may have these on your system (my
Slackware systems have /usr/sbin/ppp-on and /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer, for
example, which require only adding a few bits of information to work for me).
2. Because you need to use CHAP rather than userid/password authentication,
you'll need to modify the above files. I Think all you need to do is comment
out or remove the lines in ppp-on-dialer that script providing userid in
response to login:, then your password in reaponse to password:. THis will
cause chat to return control to pppd as soon as it gets the CONNECT message
from the modem. pppd can then respond to CHAP requests (if you've provided
it with the necessary config file).
